PIH - A greedy money making venture, not proper to be labelled Hospital.
A good friend and brother of mine Lt Col Steven Dom, the Commanding Officer of 2RPIR, Moem Barracks lost his 10 year old son Kua Dom yesterday 03/01/12. The mother brought the son into to PIH around 9 30 am yesterday after the child complaint of severe stomach ache. The father was on Duty to his country in Wewak, PIH refused to accept the little money she had as a deposit for at least some treatment while the father gave some assurance from Wewak to settle the balance.
There NO CASH NO TREATMENT policy left a sick crying child at their emergency room with no attention paid to. The father desperately tried to remit some money into his wife account, due to the long weekend and long cue at the banks, the transaction went through after lunch. By then the child was coughing blood which was ignored by the staff of PIH. The child was rushed to Pom Gen Hospital and died shortly there yesterday afternoon. He should have been starting Grade 4 this year.
My brother call me from Wewak and ask if I could assist his grieving young family. When I entered the Pom Gen Emergency Ward to pick young Kua, the condition there was shocking. Doesn’t reflect a county like PNG with a strong growing Economy. Let us forget about the current political impasse, they are fighting for their VXs and luxurious lifestyle at our expense yet our people will continue to suffer like the Doms. I suggest this email be widely circulated so people can stop going to PIH for treatment and hopefully a politician can do something about PIH. I believe there has been several death at PIH under similar scenario.

From comments on SharpTalk , "That hospital is not about
saving lives; its focus is on making money and something should be done
about it. This is why I'm not voting for any existing or intending
politician who send their children overseas for their education, medical
treatment for their family and spend most of their time overseas. They
are already well off and dont need my vote to make then anymore richer.
All efforts should be focussed on improving the situation in PNG for the
benefit of all PNGeans"
Another one commented "My heart goes out to Lt Col
Steven Dom for his loss. PIH is nothing more than another business arm
of RH. There to make even more money off our people. And some Idiot gave
them the rights over the MVIL Private Hospital to be opened later this
year. I once took one of my own staff to PIH Accident and emergency on a
Sunday afternoon after been shot in an atempted hold up, after repeated
assurances that I would supply them with a company Purchase Order on
Monday when the office opens they refused to treat him without 2grand
upfront. After an unsucsessfull argument with several staff and an
Indian accountant I immediatly carried him to my car and raced him down
to POM General with minutes to spare. He survived, only just, the POM
General doctors told me that had I been just 3 minutes later he would
have surley died. Doctors throught the world take the hipporatic oath to
provide medical care to everyone no mater what. PIH should be
immediatly shut down and have all there licences cancelled, way to many
people have died in their carpark and waiting room because they have
been refused service because of non payment. SHUT THEM DOWN !!!
I experienced the same thing when my friend broke her leg. It was 2am and these heartless money sucking ppl demanded K1000 deposit before treatment. I gave them a piece of my mind and wheeled her out to another privat co next to pomgen. The PIH Indian dude had the gall to run after me and ask me where i was taking her, i told him to piss off!! Can PIH be sued for negligence lawyers on this forum? And why is this acceptable in PNG?
